Bibliography

The great majority of pages within UNRV.com have been written by Chris Heaton (other authors are noted where appropriate). I pursue historical study as a personal passion rather than a professional career, but studied the classics and ancient history at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. The primary sources, when available, have been referred to first in the research and preparation of all articles. I attempt to use 'consensus' opinion in several cases and have used my own interpretation of various ancient propaganda when necessary, which should be clearly apparent in most cases. These articles have not been published, in most cases, with their direct supporting footnote documentation. This site is not intended to be an end all for scholarly research, but rather provides general interpretations of the ancient, hopefully in a concise manner. I hope it only to be an introduction and stepping stone into more advanced studies. Additional information can be provided to students when asking for bibliography information regarding specific articles.
On a generic basis, the following sources have been instrumental in developing this site:
